Ideas to Make Money on YouTube and Pre-Production Process Tips -

[@evopan1]

Hi Sean, love your Think Media channel. I am just getting started with my own KZbin channel and videos. I'm 67 years old so the learning curve is huge for me but I am a quick learner. You got me fired up and I am going to take the plunge and make my first video and post it to my channel. Thank you so much for the kick to my backside. Harry Swank

[@MAZELEE]

[Joe] q&a format is solid. love all your channels sean.

[@TwistTheThrottle2024]

Wow I just had a look at your old original videos from 5 years ago, that has given me inspiration when I see how amateur your original stuff was and now how setup and organised you are. I can see small things like lighting, scripts, audio, hair, background can make a MASSIVE difference!! Time for me to start making some more youtube videos....Like your channel mate

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks for the comment - sure thing! We learn by doing ... keep posting videos and try to get 1% better in every one. :-)

[@TwistTheThrottle2024]

Great advice, I hope to also look back and see improvement over the years...

[@bluemoonrisin8598]

+THiNK Media TV I really wish I could do that mate

[@Rotjeknor010]

I just watched some old stuff too. I notice Sean really improved on speaking. Awesome. He really articulates and uses his hands, he gets the message accross.

[@ChrisJohnsonCJs-Kitchen]

I am so relieved to hear you say that about consistency. I have been struggling to stick with the schedule I set for myself and advertised. Love your channel, thanks for all the great tips and tech reviews!

[@unaffekted]

love the way you say FASTER ... puts a smile on my face. ... thanks for the videos their very informative.

[@DrXavier]

Thank you.. Great tips...Thank you

[@klavlock]

I'm a big fan of this format! The tips were genuinely helpful

[@D-M32725]

Q&A is awesome! I have only watched 2 of your videos and have already learned so much! Thanks for the great advice, I look forward to more content soon

[@poolboyinla]

Thanks for the video.

[@brandonjoyce5379]

honestly man you hit all your task right on point! as far as the camera: it really depends on what you are using it for photos or vlogs! what also is going to matter is the specs to determine the settings. I think setting up a object from 4ft away an adjusting the settings to your liking will be the best bet! well done man keep up the good work!

[@serenitysoothingmeditation1547]

Hey bud, I have to say I love your channel! the information and tips you provide are very helpful and I look forward to seeing how this channel grows within the next couple years :) Keep on giving us that oh so special quality content!

[@andybneville]

Great video Sean, good way to engage with your audience and still provide some very useful tips and advice. Love the format keep it going.

[@MarcNorris]

Definitely nice to see a Q & A session with you. Some good content. My only comment about would be about scheduling tweets and other social media updates: While most of the time that is good, there are times when it is not appropriate and can actually harm your brand. One example of scheduled tweets being a bad idea was during the Boston Marathon bombings - many people at that time who had scheduled tweets (along the lines of "buy my product"), had some backlash from other Twitter users as they seemed insensitive to what was going on at that time. So just bear in mind that scheduled social updates seem like they make life easier, but there are also some things to be aware of as well.

[@nameisethanl6081]

this video was really good because it has lots of information! keep doing these sean!

[@AldermanFarms]

Love the Q&A format. #MorePlease

[@jonathanjacobus7057]

[@ColinBloodworth]

I'm usually a film a video in the work week and one on the weekend, then stagger uploads. Weekend ones usually up on Thursdays, Weekend ones usually up on Monday/Tuesdays. Great video, Sean. Helpful tips and questions. Definitely checking out Google trends...

[@SoCalledSomeone]

Another great video Sean. Love the Q&A video. Hope to see more. Maybe alternate between Q&A and the regular videos?

[@williambenner5550]

I know this is a old video, but I want to let you know Like the question and answer format a lot. Would love to see more.

[@LupoMotorsBoise]

I love the Q and A style!!!!!! Keep it up!!!! What is the best way to get more engagement?

[@AdelaideBeauty17]

More Q&A video's please :) Question for you, what are some recommendations that you'd have for driving traffic to a small business that relies on social media to drive sales?

[@triggerd7385]

Awesome video really helped. Question: What if the biggest tip you would give to a beginner film maker on KZbin?

[@AldermanFarms]

Hey! That was MY question! ha "This is just the sort of spontaneous publicity that MAKES people!" ~ Navin R. Johnson lol Thanks for answering - and for letting me know I'm not the only one still using a shotgun approach! Never a problem not uploading often enough - always a problem uploading too often! :-) PS - way to get that #VRA hastag in there. #SmartCookie #ISWYDT

[@ChopperFisher]

love your stuff man, your going to help my channel get off to an amazing start, curious as to where to get sound effects from though any ideas?!

[@TheGracefulGlowup]

What is the name of your old faith based channel? I talk about faith on my channel also and i struggle with affiliate opportunities as well so i've started offering products. Great video!

[@weswalston3219]

Sean, Q & A went well.

[@sammymarrco2]

Great video.

[@pinkyweah]

Is great! Thank you

[@connoravila5332]

U really deserve more subs

[@AldermanFarms]

52 views per hour....are you KIDDING me?!?!? You are a #RockStar, man.

[@hantizesso805]

thank you so much !

[@braintumoraunty]

Thanks for this :)

[@ezradoron4773]

Thanks for tips

[@UsualmikeTelevision]

My question is if my KZbin channel is not Niche enough to what I do most of the time and I branch out about other topics should I start another Channel?

[@ShardvixensDen]

I really liked this video, it was very useful. I was wondering if you could explain the sponsor system in a nice easy way. Like do sponsors come to you or do you go out and find them? Also is there a low cap limit for views that sponsors look for? Also have you explain in another video what ad sense is? If not could we get an explanation of that as well. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day!

[@stevecastle6066]

Awesome video

[@paula.s.2790]

so for next Q&A. What do you think about signing up for an affliate program then a few days later they cancel on you because your to new? Do you know of any that will allow you as an affliate even being a brand new KZbinr? Thanks, Paul

[@SoCalledSomeone]

I would focus on building your channel first. There are a few out there, but I would wait and just build a following first.

[@Pcpro047Tkgeekyteenagers]

are u interested in cross promotion ?

[@HelloHappyMom]

That happened to me with Amazon. Having a blog was super important, so I created one. When I reapplied I was approved the second time around. Hope that helps a little!

[@paula.s.2790]

+You,Me,and Baby Makes 3 so how long and how many viewers did you have to have before they approved your channel? thnx

[@HelloHappyMom]

I started my blog and did some regular posting, probably 6-8 and then I reapplied using my blog, not my KZbin channel. The Amazon customer service rep said that KZbin channels are a bit more difficult to get approved than blogs. Hope that helps!

[@ChrisEvans66]

thanks for the info! never thought of using my Instagram or snap chat to promote my vodeos.

[@AnalogX64]

This would be a great series maybe once a month?

[@TheUltimateGrinder]

The end of video, I'm like this when I try to record my voice/speach.

[@zechrom3628]

really like these q and a videos and my questions are do you link your personnel social media accounts to your youtube account in other words is there reason for concern if you do? and could you please make some sort of video about green screens.

[@JSugarmanAuction]

Nice tips... I liked it. So, Do you critique production?

[@SHIRLINAyt]

You're awesome thank you for making such great videos!! I didn't see any videos on building an email list.. I know that's super important to build my tribe but I don't have a website yet and I know I need to start building it NOW.. any suggestions? I'm not sure what I can offer my audience NOW in exchange for their email without a website.. Thank you again so much!!

[@aggiethebrickcacher2774]

Like the q&a

[@davidrayramos]

Great video, Sean. Question: I'm a Portrait and Wedding Photographer; how can I grow my influence in my industry?

[@ThisLittleCriticSanad]

Question: What camera are you currently using? Its like a fish eye but not to extreme.

[@rachelmanderson256]

What was that app you use for Twitter where you can schedule posts? That would be so helpful! 😂

[@jas-n-motion]

you're awesome!

[@back2lay]

I see you use music from soundcloud. How does that work,do you have to pay the artists, and what about the KZbin copyright problem?

[@SomdahSaysSo]

I get all my background music from soundcloud. I look for people who are offering free music and follow them. I always put the song and artist in the description box and a link to their page just to cover all bases.

[@back2lay]

+SomdahSaysSo Hi there. Thanks muchly for that,I have searched soundclouds pages but never found a conclusive answer to it. I will follow your pointers and see what happens. Josh

[@SomdahSaysSo]

+back2lay try looking for instrumentals or mixes of your favorite songs I'm always looking for jazzy hip hop type beats hope that helps

[@EclecticAlu]

Great tips! Love Q&A's ! Do you know of a free keyword planner? I don't understand why google's planner asks for the credit card number :/

[@QuentinChrismiles]

Patreon, Tipeee is also goo options to let your fanbase helping you financing your channel ;)

[@pupwang]

Hi Sean! Great video! I just started my own channel about 1 week ago, and right now, I'm kinda struggling on what content to produce/make. So my question is, do you think having a consistent theme/content is better than having a bunch of random vids? I'm really worried I won't go far with the randomness of my content. :| Anyway, thank you for this video! Super helpful and informative! Cheers!

[@raystetler8175]

Didn't catch this video until now but I wanted to ask this question: I am starting a new channel and it is more of a morphing of vlog, inspirational, tech, etc. How would you market this type of channel and is it even a good idea to blend several types of channels? I am thinking in this direction because I have limited resources because I am a disabled veteran trying to get a degree in digital cinematography. Any help would be appreciated!

[@robertapodaca5449]

I'm an athlete, and I am in need to make film of myself. Either with another person behind the camera or myself setting the camera up alone. I was wondering what camera would be best suited for this project, and should I have somebody behind the camera?

[@jonathanjacobus7057]

Where would you recommend to buy equipment from online?

[@bikinifitnessitalia7634]

Whether I can do effect, where you are showing questions from people using iMovie?

[@PresidentColley]

good video.

[@TonysJournal]

Hey Sean! Why the addmefast views are not recognized by youtube? Thanks bro

[@diegocoronado488]

What do u think about the cannon g7x

[@santap9332]

Question: What would be the best camera for starting youtube channel? Im beginner and want automatic settings. Is it enough to buy canon 70D and start filming? Or should i go for cheaper camera like Canon 700 D ?

[@vinceromero3409]

What do you use for video editing softerware an do you do it on a Mac or PC
